NHLA - ouch!
linus and Melody - bucolic runs -herd of deer, cottontail bunnies, squirrels jumping. water flowing. Sounds nice. <contented sigh>
Snerb - you'll have so much fun at Crazylegs you won't even notice the weather (how's that for positive thinking?)
4 slooooow miles today. Calves were back to being uncooperative. And it was a chilly 40 degrees. I'm thinking I wasn't well hydrated yesterday - I even woke up thirsty and feeling dry. Ran into a friend walking his dog at mile 3.5 and we stopped to chat for 5 minutes or so (I didn't know he ran Boston!). After that little break, the last 1/2 mile home was a piece of cake. After a very, very, very long day at work, I splurged on a Burger and Fries with a vanilla shake for dinner. Sometimes being bad can feel very good. 
RunBetter - W00t! You're lots faster than me...
Debm - Way to tough it out. I did a small Wendy's burger and frosty the other day myself
NHLA - I'm NOT a fan of hail. That's the only really damaging weather we have in this area.
linuscatch and Melodylea - It's great to get off the roads, init?
I did a group run last night at Lair O' The Bear Park, up the hill, down the hill. Turn around, and go up the hill, down the hill. What an evening! It had just rained lightly, so the scents of the forest were prominent. Ever run through a Ponderosa pine forest? They smell like butterscotch. Some folks claim it's vanilla, but they're obviously impaired. We passed several mountain bikers on the uphills. Total was about 5.25 miles, in 75 minutes. Single track, not too steep, elevation between 6900 and 7300 feet. I was able to run the uphills successfully. Slowly, but I didn't have to walk. Downhills were a blast. I probably ran them too fast, but it sure was fun! Rest day today.
Hi Everyone!!
Been keeping up with the posts but havent' posted in quite awhile.
I have been running, REALLY!! 
Due to my business travels, it doesn't seem like I will be running a race in April .......... boo hoo ......... but I did run 2 in March, haha!
My next race is on May 5th, a HM, in NM.
Ran 10 miles trail with hill repeats on MONDAY.
Ran 10 miles intervals on treadmill, weights and rowing this past WEDNESDAY. Feeling it today.
Running a minimum of 6 miles and have run a maximum of 12 miles. Been running every other day, getting plenty of REST the next day.
You all have been my inspiration as I have an ongoing self-dialogue going when running my trails ................ quite the motivator, 'hearing those voices', haha!!
KEEP IT UP EVERYONE!!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE RACING THIS WEEKEND!!

OshCat - That's great, that you have no pain!
az1414 - Better to run and not post than to post and not run.
I did 8.6 on the multi use path this morning. Sunny, breezy, and 45. Not a bad day overall. My goal today was running economy and a 10 m/m pace. The out was an overall uphill into the wind, and the back was obviously the easier portion of the run . I tried to run at equal effort more than time.
A local shoe store had a marathon training group run today, so I saw a lot of runners. I'm afraid some of them thought "You're doing it WRONG!" when I came around a curve singing along with Axl "Wake up late, honey put on your clothes Take your credit card to the liquor store." What can I say? I had the wind at my back!
Checked my watch at the end of the run and hit 10:02 pace overall. Drank some chocolate milk and I'm posting and icing. A great Saturday morning.
